Hannity's Lies - in black and white

[RebelYell]

Here are a few quotes from the piece:

~~~~~~~~

3. Saddam/Al-Qaeda Connection

HANNITY: "And in northern Iraq today, this very day, al Qaeda is operating camps there, and they are attacking the Kurds in the north, and this has been well-documented and well chronicled. Now, if you're going to go after al Qaeda in every aspect, and obviously they have the support of Saddam, or we're not." (12/9/02)

FACT: David Kay was on the ground for months investigating the activities of Hussein's regime. He concluded "But we simply did not find any evidence of extensive links with Al Qaeda, or for that matter any real links at all." He called a speech where Cheney made the claim there was a link "evidence free." (Boston Globe, 6/16/04)

4. 9/11 Investigation

HANNITY: ", liberal Democrats at first showed little interest in the investigation of the roots of this massive intelligence failure... made it clear that determining the causes of America's security failures and finding and remedying its weak points would be central to their mission." (Let Freedom Ring, by Sean Hannity)

TRUTH: Bush Opposed the creation of a special commission to probe the causes of 9/11 for over a year. On 5/23/02 CBS New Reported "President Bush took a few minutes during his trip to Europe Thursday to voice his opposition to establishing a special commission to probe how the government dealt with terror warnings before Sept. 11." Bush didn't relent to pressure to create a commission, mostly from those Hannity would consider "liberal" until September 2002. (CBS News, 5/23/02; ABC News, 9/20/02)

6. No, actually, he always lies

I've heard him maybe 4-5 times, and he's truly, the one that seems to take the most liberty to pretend like his stuff is "fact," (which, in fact, it usually isn't -- just some spinned crap and Rovian lies) than some of the other GOP hate radio blowhards out there. He likes to think he has a little bit of journalistic integrity, or something, and takes himself WAYYYYY too seriously. Plus, he's Rick Santorum's soulmate -- two of the most PATHETIC PATHETIC PATHETIC whiners out there, trying to play on sentimentality. Good God, how stupid can some people be?

4. He always lies

And then thinks he has the right to preach to Opie and Anthony. They should have told him to f**k off.
